Well, alot of the origonal Texans are not from the US but from Mexico. Up to 1/3. Alot of the US imagrants are not from Britan, but several other countrys.

Also the Texans married alot of the natives that were her making most native (several generations) Texans as being there for thousand of years.

ANd yes I have alot of relitaves in Texas. Thats why I know.

Well I was referring to ALL non American Indian Americans.

I may be wrong, but I think that the percentage of Brits in the mix is actually quite small. A lot of dutch, french, belgium, danish and germans in there.

As well spanish and mexican. Diversity is a good thing though.

Well, you were right, sort of. (did I say that!?!)

But they had been here for generations before they became Texans. That makes them no longer Imagrants.

There were 5 other nations that ocupied Texas before they were part of the US. French, Spanish, Mexican, Texan, United States, And the south. Is who ocupied the area.

You could say the same thing about England, but it happened over alot longer time and it wasnt the same countrys.

Hmmm, there's a whole, VERY contentious, issue there about the history of the US that I am not going to get into.

But, I did correct myself in latter posts to say Immigrant Stock. big grin

Let me just add, before someone pulls the racist card out of the pack, that this is not a racist comment, just stating facts.

HEY, NO! I Never thought it was a racist comment. Just a bit Eurocentric.

Its a bit right but, not the whole picture.

Just like some of the other debates that all of us are having. big grin

Finti has a point there, RC.

The Dallas Cowboys stink and thats about all I have to say about Texas. No offense intended of course.

We went to the neighbor's for July 4. Did the chicken and brats on the grill thing, the potato salad thing, and the ten tons of other food to go along with it thing, the football in the pool thing, the fireworks thing and the continuous drinking thing. Any questions class ?
